Summary
Thomas Price is an Associate Professor and AI-for-education researcher with 13 years of experience designing learner-centered, prototype-driven educational technologies. He leads an NC State lab that builds AI systems—auto-generated hints, feedback, knowledge tracing, and auto-grading—that blend novel algorithms with educational theory and rigorous A/B experimentation. His work has produced XPRIZE-recognized innovations and 25+ experimental papers that tie data-driven evaluation to classroom impact. Equally focused on usability and pedagogy, he reimagines classroom tools as intuitive, social, and explorable learning experiences (examples available on his public project site). Based in the Raleigh–Durham area, he pairs a PhD in Computer Science with hands-on R&D that moves ideas from prototypes into measurable improvements in engagement and learning.
